INFODAS SDoT Security Gateway receives NATO SECRET approval enabling digitization of classified systems
COLOGNE, Germany, March 2, 2021/PRNewswire-AsiaNet / --

The bi-directional SDoT Security Gateway [ 
https://www.infodas.de/en/products/sdot_cross_domain_solutions/security-gateway-ieg-guard/] 
received a general NATO SECRET approval from the NATO Military Committee (MC) 
after a two year in-depth evaluation by NATO's Information Security and 
Evaluation Agency (SECAN). INFODAS is the only Cross Domain Solution (CDS) and 
Cybersecurity vendor in the world with a product portfolio that holds triple 
accreditations for NATO, EU and German SECRET. SDoT products cover any military 
use-case from data center to tactical edge. As the flagship SDoT product, the 
data guard filters both structured data and works with any data classified with 
NATO compliant XML security labels. It is listed in the NATO Information 
Assurance Product Catalogue (NIAPC). The general NATO SECRET approval makes it 
easy to get NATO specific IT solutions accredited.
 
In past, classified information and systems were physically separated from 
other military and government networks. This prevents end-to-end digitization 
and requirements for rapid decision making among 30 NATO members and allies. 
SDoT Cross Domain Solutions enable combined operations and near real time 
classified data sharing as well as fusion between systems and people in all 
domains from general headquarters to frontline: land, sea, air, space and 
cyber. They closely inspect, transform and monitor data transfers, ensuring 
only correct and authorized information crosses systems at different security 
levels. With a common operating picture (COP), the right sensor, processor and 
potentially shooter can be connected. Enabling tactical data links across 
security domains, SDoT provided this capability at multi-national air defense 
live fire exercise at NATO Missile Firing Installation (NAMFI). Soon, the 
Sneaker-net will be thing of the past.

All elements of the Secure Domain Transition (SDoT) Product Family 
[https://www.infodas.de/en/products/sdot_cross_domain_solutions/] meet strict 
information security requirements for hardware and software security at the 
SECRET and below interoperability level (SABI). They are developed and 
manufactured in Germany with full supply chain transparency. They are available 
as 19" appliances or tactical sizes as COMP-LAND for vehicles and COMP-AIR for 
drones. Other products include the SDoT Security Gateway Express optimized for 
near real-time, low latency filtering of military data such as XML, Link 16 
/JREAP or ASTERIX. Just like the SDoT Diode [ 
https://www.infodas.de/en/products/sdot_cross_domain_solutions/data_diode/] for 
unidirectional data transfer up to 9.1 Gbit/s, both products hold a general 
NATO, EU and German SECRET accreditation. They are complemented by the SDoT 
Labelling Service 
[https://www.infodas.de/en/products/sdot_cross_domain_solutions/labelling-servic
e-data-classification/ ] for NATO STANG 4774/8 compliant data classification 
with XML security labels that are cryptographically bound to any data object 
such as MS Office documents which recently received a German SECRET 
accreditation.

For over 10 years SDoT products have been used in the toughest and mission 
critical environments around the world. Recently, SDoT CDS were selected for 
NATO's AWACS aircraft upgrade and Joint Electronic Warfare Core Staff (JEWCS). 
"To maintain our accreditations with Germany's Federal Office of Information 
Security (BSI) or NATO SECAN our team is constantly innovating our security 
architecture and functionality. New use-cases are annually tested at CWIX. Many 
of our clients and us have been eagerly awaiting SECAN's decision. We are 
looking forward to work with NATO and its members to digitize mission critical 
domains", said Dr. Alexander Schellong, VP Global Business.
